ORIGINAL: Whiplashsmile4 It's been a long time, since I started a thread of any great substantial depth. I'm not the same person per se that I once was. I have more than one reason for starting this thread. Dare I admit, even ulterior motives. So what I have to express not only goes out to people on the message board, it's also with the intention of 2 specific people to read. The topic being "The Bullshit Game of Empathy", which in itself seems to be a reoccurring theme on the message board. Those crafty clever excuses/lies people pull out to avoid the truth, not accept responsibility or just plain touch your heart. However, with the added touch of emotionally manipulating your compassion. Worse, yet if you don't fucking play along then you're made out to be the bad person, or worse yet you actually end up feeling bad. Generally speaking, this where somebody either - fabricates a complete story...or
- uses something awful that really has happened as an excuse.
After all how mad can you be at somebody, that stood you up, when there was a death in the family? When there car broke down and they had to walk for miles (elaborate story with lot's of details). Even more amazing is how they use past stories of shit that did really happen at one time to feed you, so that way they can keep their story straight. What better way to tap into making somebody care about you, then to play upon their own human compassion even? Suddenly, you become more concerned about the other persons welfare and well being as opposed to having hard feeling over something that's petty in comparison. Some people actually bait and lure people into their world by laying out a completely false sob story on their profile. I'm not saying that all sob stories ain't real. Some of them actually are. However, for some people they know full well that they are hoping to bait somebody in. I'm writing from a more generalized point of view right now. So it gives people in general something to seriously think about. Some people won't think twice about making up stories about Cancer, Pregnancy, Medical Issues, Deaths, Family Crisis and a slew of other bullshit. This is Empathy Manipulation at it's extreme. Not everybody is extreme. I personally dealt this madness in it's extreme form. Worse yet, how the game is played on you will, and I assure you this will bring you down. The none extreme forms of it, is using something that really happened as an Excuse. - Such as their Car really did break down in the rain, however they did not bother calling you as promised, yet they could call all kinds of people looking for help on their cell phone.
- Somebody being so sick they can't IM with you because they need their rest to recover, yet can spend time otherwise online reading things and interacting with other people.
The whole "Ferris Bueller" run around, instead of being straight up with you about shit. It's pretty amazing the amount of lies or untruths people tell, which are centered around manipulating the empathy of another person. I'd like to still like I'm a half way decent human being that sincerely cares about people. That my give-a-damn is not fully busted. However, I find it difficult to ignore it. When my gut instinct Spidey senses are off the charts, and things don't add up right. Yet I'm expected to be that good kind, loving and understanding person. This just pisses me off now days! What I really despise with passion, is when you confront somebody on this, and they accuse you of creating Drama or trying to make you feel like shit about it. I despise it was a passion that I'll burn the bridge with a gasoline, pull the pin on the hand grenade and get things the fuck over and done with. Why? Because I deserve and simply want better, and I expect better. If you sincerely want to see how much of a heartless bastard I can be, play this game with me and you're ass is gone. I don't give a shit about how patient and understand us Doms are supposed to be. I will roll the way I need to be, to be true to myself. Which is another Bullshit game people play!! Dominants or submissive are supposed to be this that or another fucking way. I will assure anybody I'm more than happy to stand out from behind whatever label or title and give them a piece of the real human being that's me. I'll crank up Alice Coopers "No More Mr. Nice Guy" with an attitude too. Can you put some more detail into this?
